Where to buy

He likes to play with numerous materials and regularly introduces aluminum, sponge, or even paper! Considered an agitator of ideas, Paco Rabanne is a couturier who can boast of having revolutionized the world of fashion, but also that of perfumery. In 1999, the house presented Ultraviolet pour elle, an ultra visionary fragrance.

Paco Rabanne’s feminine UFO

Anti-conformist and visionary at heart, Paco Rabanne likes to surprise and is always where least expected. This is not the first time Paco Rabanne has offered a fragrance that does not conform to the trends of the moment. At the dawn of a new millennium, in 1999, Paco Rabanne wanted to astonish women. The Ultraviolet woman is meant to be mysterious, seductive, yet ultra vibrant. Intuitive, she asserts herself through her natural beauty. Both avant-garde and very feminine, the Ultraviolet woman is turned toward the future. Beyond the visible, the emotion of the Ultraviolet woman is ultra-sensory and creates a desire to explore new sensations. She likes to surprise those around her, but leads us toward a New World, more beautiful and more feminine.

The sensory notes of Ultraviolet

A new future awaits the woman of the twenty-first century. It is the perfumer Jacques Cavallier who is behind this little masterpiece. He placed osmanthus in the spotlight, and the composition of Ultraviolet is built around this ingredient. Osmanthus is a shrub with small, fragrant white leaves. Osmanthus originates from Asia and releases a soft jasmine scent. Ultraviolet opens with osmanthus paired with the velvety softness of apricot as well as spicier notes such as pink pepper and coriander. The heart is ultra subtle and very feminine thanks to the presence of osmanthus, jasmine, Bulgarian rose, and violet flower. This floral bouquet is paired with Jamaican red chili pepper, giving the composition a strong character. The base of Ultraviolet is sensual and enveloping, with sandalwood, vanilla, and ambergris. As for the bottle, it is as avant-garde as can be. It indeed resembles a flying saucer from far away. The bottle is violet in color, while the cap is transparent.

New millennium, New World, new fragrance. And a new challenge for the eccentric couturier. Ultraviolet reveals a mysterious, even enigmatic woman. Seductive, she is turned toward the future, toward new ideas and new sensations. Through her flying saucer-shaped bottle, she will carry us toward distant, unknown, unsuspected horizons.
